Wexford didn't win the All Ireland in 1997, that was Clare (They beat Tipp in the final). Offaly were defo the first hurling back door winners, they defeated Kilkenny in the Brian Whelehan final of 1998. (When he had the flu and went full forward, and won the game for Offaly).

Was that the Connollys of Galway in 1980? Or is this some sort of trick question about bands?

AZOffaly · May 09, 2008, 05:22:55 PM

No. Tony Allen and Mick Foster. If it was Big Tom and Tony Allen we'd have a winner

Was driving in this morning, bored with the radio I came up with novel way to amuse myself! From the memory I tried to name the Meath team that won the AI in 99. I have a good few, I know a couple of taps on the keyboard and I could fill in the gaps, but no cheating, do it from the head. Name the rest (and correct the errors)

C O'Sullivan
M Reilly D Fay C Murphy
H Traynor ? ?
J Mc Dermott ?
E Kelly T Giles ?
T Dowd GG O Murphy

Bonus point: Who scored the great goal for Cork that day and name his club?
